The Sky Corps cadets are trained to operate giant mechas in order to defend the planet from alien invaders…

Kingsway West #2 finds writer Greg Pak and artist Mirko Colak building upon the strengths of the debut issue by keeping the focus on two elements; deepening their compelling protagonist and further construction of their fascinating alternate Old West setting. Kingsway West #2 is set in the Old West, but not our Old West. In this version of history, America is divided up between various warring groups in a world of magic, dragons and six-shooters….

Kingsway West #1 has the virtue of being unique, I’ll give it that. Created and written by Greg Pak, the series takes place in an alternate version of the old West, suffused with magic and the supernatural, the action taking place in a radically different frontier that’s recovering form a thirteen year war. In this world, the West coast of America is ruled by a Chinese nation known as the Golden Mountain Empire, who warred with…

Dynamite Comics shows the range of their publishing line this week with a mix of horror, fantasy, action, and Western titles. Much of Dynamite’s recent success has been rebooting or reimagining properties from defunct comics companies. For example, Greg Pak and Mirko Colak’s Turok:Dinosaur Hunter series is part of their initiative to reboot some of the defunct Gold Key Comics’ books with popular writers, like Pak, Mark Waid, and Fred Van Lente. The first arc of Turok comes to a…

I have seen the future, and it is… very, very meh. A major part of the appeal of Greg Pak’s current run on Valiant’s Eternal Warrior is that starting with issue #5, Eternal Warrior takes place in the year 4001 A.D. For those of you that failed Chronology 101, this is nearly 2000 years into the future, meaning it’s the first glimpse of the future Valiant Universe since their line-wide relaunch in 2012. This is exciting…

I’ve read Planet Hulk, the preface to World War Hulk. I loved it. I got all snively, it was a great story. It made me interested in a character that I scoffed at before and had zero intentions of reading anything about him. I mean, Hulk, big, green, angry dude. Doesn’t sound that interesting. But Planet Hulk changed that. I cared about his plight. I wanted him to succeed and be happy and have friends….

What I knew about Hulk before I read Planet Hulk: He’s a human who turns into a green monster. His name is Banner. (Thank you, Avengers movie). I knew that I didn’t really want to read anything about the Hulk. The End. What I know now: that I was totally wrong about the Hulk. Oh my God, this was such an epic read! I’m sorry to everyone I turned up my nose at when they recommended…
